Easy listening jazz-pop album, Jun 6 2009
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: It's Time (Audio CD)
Michael's music doesn't easily fit into any category. My local store files them in the easy listening section but they could just as easily be filed in the jazz section. Not that jazz purists are likely to get excited about his music - they almost certainly won't - but there is a jazzy feel to this album nevertheless.The songs here reflect Michael's mixed influences, with some songs that you would expect to find on jazz albums (Foggy day in London town, The more I see you, I've got you under my skin), R+B songs (You and I, Try a little tenderness, How sweet it is) and mainstream pop oldies (Can't buy me love, Save the last dance for me). There's even a country song (You don't know me), though Michael may well have selected it after hearing the famous Ray Charles version. The opening title track (an Anthony Newley song), Quando quando quando (a song that became a UK sixties hit for Engelbert Humperdinck, here performed as a duet with Nelly Furtado) and Home (the only original song here) complete a wonderful album.
Michael and his musicians give all the songs an easy listening jazz-pop treatment. On this particular album, my favorite track is probably Save the last dance for me, which is a little different from all the other versions I've heard but sounds great.
You might say that Michael doesn't have anything really different to offer, but there is a huge market for this type of music and Michael is clearly among the best contemporary singers within that market. While this is my first album of his, I don't expect it to be my last.
Listmania!
